About Laura-Anne

Laura-Anne Mervyn is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, family conflict and major life changes. She works with clients on practical problems like sleeping and eating concerns, managing anger, and coping with chronic illness. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and compassion fatigue.

She draws on nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

Laura-Anne believes people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives. Sessions focus on identifying those strengths and using them to move forward. Her way of working is warm and person-focused.

Conversations are guided by what the client wants to address rather than a strict protocol. She listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients set small, achievable goals between sessions. Clients can expect practical, down-to-earth support for everyday struggles.

This can include talking through difficult decisions, building routines to improve sleep and mood, or finding ways to manage stress and anxiety day to day. The emphasis is on what helps in real life. Laura-Anne offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

International clients who speak English can be seen. Therapy is delivered via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Ways of working Laura-Anne names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred therapy works online

This counsellor uses client-centred therapy, which centres sessions on the person rather than the problem. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s lead to build understanding and confidence. This approach helps with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship concerns because it focuses on the client’s own priorities and resources.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then adapt sessions to suit those needs. That might mean focusing on practical coping strategies one week and using longer reflective conversations the next. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, workday check-ins or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
